Markets traded with a positive bias and gained over half a percent, offering some relief after the recent decline. Following an initial uptick, the Nifty moved in a narrow range during the first half; however, strength in select heavyweights, particularly from the banking and financial sectors, propelled the index higher. As a result, it surpassed the short-term moving average (20 DEMA) and moved closer to the previous swing high zone near 25,250, eventually settling at the 25,219.90 level.

On the sectoral front, the trend remained mixed, with auto, banking, and financials ending in the green, while realty and FMCG closed in the red. The broader market also reflected a mixed tone, as the midcap index gained nearly half a percent while the smallcap index ended almost flat.

The ongoing recovery is being driven primarily by strength in banking majors, while heavyweights from other key sectors are showing signs of stabilization following the recent correction. However, the IT sector, which holds significant weight in the index, continues to face selling pressure and is gradually inching lower. Participants will closely watch Infosys’ results, as its performance will be crucial in determining the next leg of the move for the IT space. Amid these developments, we maintain our cautious stance and continue to recommend a hedged approach.

Nifty has moved above the 21-day EMA on the daily timeframe, indicating an increase in bullish sentiment, supported by improved optimism following the trade deal between the US and Japan.

The RSI on the daily chart is in a bullish crossover and rising above the 50 mark, further reinforcing the positive momentum.

In the short term, sentiment is likely to remain optimistic. On the higher side, Nifty may move towards 25,500, while support is placed at 24,900. A break below this level could weaken the current trend.

Today, the Indian stock market closed on a positive note with the Nifty 50 rising by approximately 0.53% to 25,219 points, recovering strongly from the previous day’s slight decline. The benchmark Sensex also showed robust gains, supported primarily by a rally in auto and financial sector stocks. Positive global cues played a significant role in this upward momentum—Asian markets were buoyant following the announcement of a US-Japan trade deal, which has renewed hopes for further trade agreements.

Additionally, anticipation of upcoming US-China trade talks in Stockholm added to investor optimism.

Key Nifty stocks like Tata Motors saw notable gains (around 2.6%), alongside strength in Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra, reflecting broad-based sectoral support.

The low Put-Call Ratios for Nifty and Bank Nifty indicated cautious optimism but suggested a likely rangebound or volatile session ahead. Market participants are closely watching upcoming corporate earnings and economic data that will shape momentum going forward.

The Indian equity market demonstrated resilience despite a mixed start to Q1FY26 earnings. Positive global cues, underpinned by optimism surrounding the U.S.-Japan trade agreement, have supported sentiment. Additionally, progress toward finalising the India-UK FTA has further contributed to the constructive outlook.

Continued advancements in global trade negotiations are expected to alleviate near-term trade tensions and foster greater market stability. While elevated valuations remain a concern, the prevailing market strength indicates potential for near-term earnings recovery. However, the pace and sustainability of this recovery will be critical in shaping the market’s forward trajectory.

Rupee traded flat in a narrow range near 86.40, with marginal movement of 0.01% against the dollar. The dollar index also remained steady around 97.40 as markets awaited further cues. Domestic capital markets gained 0.65%, while Fed Chair Powell’s recent speech kept the dollar range-bound. Attention now shifts to next week’s U.S. interest rate decision, which will be a key directional trigger. Rupee is expected to trade within a range of 85.80–86.70.

Indian rupee ended marginally lower at 86.41 per dollar on Wednesday versus Tuesday's close of 86.36.

SEBI's proposal to allow equity mutual funds to invest in gold and silver is a positive move for the market. This will allow increasing number of people to have access to gold and silver not just by buying jewellery or coins but also through their regular investment channels. This will boost the demand, which will eventually push prices upwards in the long run, proving to be beneficial, especially for long term investors.

With gold and silver prices witnessing upswing since the past few months, investors are already viewing this as an appropriate investment option. This proposed move will also enable investors to gain more confidence on the investment potential of these precious metals. This could also provide a major fillip to physical purchase of gold and silver, not only for special occasions, but also with an eye on long-term value eventually proving to be a win-win situation for both investors and the jewellery industry.

Indian Rupee weakened against the US Dollar on a strong greenback and FII outflows. However, overnight decline in crude oil prices and positive domestic equities cushioned the downside. US Dollar rose amid high inflation data. US CPI rose 0.3% MoM in June vs forecast of 0.3% and 2.7% YoY in June vs forecast of 2.6%. Core CPI rose 0.2% MoM in June, lower than forecast of 0.3% but higher than previous month’s reading of 0.1%. on an annual basis core CPI rose 2.9% in June vs forecast of 3% but above May’s reading of 2.8%.

We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias as hot inflation data from US trimmed rate cut bets. However, risk on sentiments in global markets as US delayed imposing tariffs on Russia by 50 days may support risk currencies. Traders may take cues from PPI and industrial production data from the US. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 85.60 to Rs 86.30.

There are no triggers for the market to break out of the consolidation range in which it has been stuck for two months now. Even an India-US interim trade deal has been discounted by the market, leaving no scope for a sharp rally decisively breaking the range. One positive and surprise factor that can trigger a rally is a tariff rate much below 20%, say 15%, which the market has not discounted. So, watch out for developments on the trade and tariff front.

Results of the IT sector continue to disappoint and, therefore, this can remain a drag on the overall market.

Operating revenue for Q1 FY2025 stood at Rs 1,502 crore as reported by Paytm, broadly in line with expectations. Merchant payment metrics have rebounded, and consumer metrics remain stable. The business continues to suffer from recent operational disruptions and regulatory changes, but management expects improvement in subsequent quarters as merchant activity recovers. GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) for the quarter was Rs 4.3 lakh crore, with daily average GMV (excluding affected products) improving towards pre-disruption levels.
